Anna Creek Station manager moves north

The manager of the world's largest cattle station, in South Australia, is moving north to greener pastures.

After seven years at Anna Creek Station, Randall Crozier is leaving to manage a property west of Katherine in the Northern Territory.

Mr Crozier says he has been through both good and bad times including the complete destocking of the station last year because of dry conditions.

He says it is now time for him to take on a new challenge.

"Its a good time for a new manager to come in and take over Anna Creek, as in that he hasn't got an enormous amount of cattle and a huge workload and they can come in and get to know the property and settle in," he said.

"And then hopefully, I just hope they get some rain and I'll be around to help as much as I can on the phone if they need me."

Mr Crozier says the immediate future of the station depends on the rain it receives.

"As it stands right now I would say they would not put any more [cattle] back on because it does need a lot more rain right now because the hot weather we've had has knocked things around again and its still dry, although its healthy," he said.
